Is it possible somehow to drag certain files to another (physically) sector of the disk?

Question

Hard disks

Here is such a thing. I have a broken piece on my disk. It is readable, but with brakes and clicks. And it is in this place that my Windows profile is located.

So. How can I drag it to other sectors? Determine which sectors are responsible for these files and move to another location. As I understand it, defragmenters do just that, but I need to target these files.

Answer 1

As an option, do the following:
1) copy the desired file under a different name
2) delete the previous file
3) give the new file the name of the previous one.
This way you will get the same file, but it will be located in other sectors (clusters)

Answer 2

Simple and brilliant. Somehow, I really stepped up. :)

Answer 3

In theory, SMART should do all this automatically or am I wrong?

Answer 4

Defragmentation does just that.

Answer 5

Can not be so.
On modern hdd, if some sectors began to crumble, then soon the rest will wake up.
Minimal damage (for example, due to incorrect shutdown), the hdd controller itself can hide.
Change the disk immediately.

Answer 6

Remap should be automatic. Wiki writes that Windows has an analogue of Linux badblocks - CHKDSK. Look at SMART, you seem to have more bad blocks than provided by the manufacturer - it's time to change the disk.

Answer 7

You can check the disk using MHDD .
1. Burn the boot disk image from MHDD to a disc and boot from it.
(if AHCI is enabled in the BIOS, it must be disabled otherwise the program will not see the hard disk)
2. In MHDD, select the numbers 1, 3, 5 ... your disk.
(if it is connected as a SLAVE, then it will not be in the list, but it can be selected with the numbers 2, 4, 6 ... depending on which master it is connected to)
3. Start scanning by pressing F4 (or SCAN). Determine slow sectors (they will be marked in red)
4a. After making sure that there are slow sectors, try to do ERASE (the data on the disk is lost). It helped me at the time.
4b. Also adviserun a cyclic (loop) scan of the area with slow sectors in order to “finish off” them and make a remap.

Answer 8

If you have access to Windows, then:
1) Download Victoria for Windows
2) Run and select the desired screw
3) On the "Test" tab, select "Remap" and click "Start"
4) Pray, with all your heart and sincerely repent of the sin of backing up
5 ) See what happens.

> Determine which sectors are responsible for these files, and move to another location. As I understand it, defragmenters do just that, but I need to target these files.
JkDefrag does this. See section Commandline.
For example, jkdefrag.exe -a 6 c:\targetmove the target folder and everything in it to the end of the section.

Answer 10

It seems to me that in any case, you need to go for a new disk and transfer data to its sectors. Discs aren't that expensive anymore. Either way, cheaper than lost data and time.
